I ordered another type of bed rail for my mom about 3 years ago. It was called The Bed Cane. It works for beds with a box spring. If I were you I would call the company that you would order it from. They were very helpful to me when I had questions about which bed rail to order. Good luck.

maybe...the device I got works by sliding a flat part under the mattress (usually between the mattress and box) and then fastening it with a long belt so that it stays secure. Not knowing about the under-workings of a hospital bed, I'm not sure if the long strap would work. the picture here isn't what I got for my father. his had a smaller rail (maybe 1' x1 1/2', kinda square) and was stationary.

I believe it is necessary to be put between a mattress and box spring. After my husband's stroke we used it to help him sit in the bed on the edge. It did need the straps under the mattress to maintain its stability.

Because if you have a typical bed frame it does not extend beyond the box spring and needs to be extended. That way the footboard has something to attach to; without it you cannot use the footboard.

I purchased this mattress for a hospital full size bed, they advertise it for a hospital bed.The problem is the mattress is about a foot short, and when you elevate the bed of course the mattress slides to the bottom.I contacted the company, because of their advertisement for a hospital bed, they wanted me to ship back the mattress, i had no problem except i didnt know how to ship it. Well that was the very last i heard from them. Im so displeased, Make sure you measure the length of the mattress.

We are using a memory foam mattress, but any will work without a boxspring.

Yes, you will still need a boxspring, I use this myself, just letting you know it isn't easy to move the bed around, it doesn't have wheels

Nope. This acts as a boxspring. No boxspring needed! Love how sturdy it is!

Absolutely not, this is an adult walker that is like the walkers in the hospitals. The only difference is that this walker has brakes on it, which makes it much safer to use. I hope this helps.

Might work. Our mattress was on floor because of wife's issues. If box spring is on a standard bed frame with little casters probably ok. If mattresses are in Scandinavian style bed with a small wooden box holding mattress it will not work. I hope this helps.

Our hospital bed has box springs and this mattress is over that. It has worked good. It replaced a three inch mattress that came with the bed.

I suppose you could put a boxspring on top of it, as long as the boxspring and the mattress did not slide around each other. The way it's designed though, you don't need a boxspring. The boards/slats have some flexibility. Mine is very comfortable with just a mattress.

I used the box spring already on my bed. I would not recommend using no box spring at all.

I guess you can but we do not. We put this on an old waterbed frame (like a platform). Just have the mattress on, no box spring.

Hi Alina, Thanks for your interest in the Drive Medical Home Bed Assist Rail. The height of this bed assist rail would depend on how high off the ground your current bed is. The safety straps that go around either the mattress or box spring ensure that it will not fall off. It also can be used with any type of mattress.

We use it for a mattress for the top bunk of our son's bunk bed which doesn't require a thick mattress and box spring. Underneath the mattress are slacks which are smooth and flat. With that being said, I would not use it for a hospital bed that has thick wire. I hope this helps.

Ideally the rail should fasten with the belt around the boxspring with the mattress on top. I agree that it is not tall enough to go below a mattress and a boxspring. I have not tried to use this product without the boxspring. It seems plausible that it would function with a mattress on top of the bed frame. My primary concern would be the stability of the belt fastened around a bed frame. I'm afraid too much pressure would be placed upon the belt.

NO!!! My mattress seats on spring straps. It is a hospital bed. You do not a box spring to use the mattress as long there I something for it rest on. I hope this helps.
